Your definition of what is/is not "safe" and what "rely upon" means. You may not want to be relied upon but others may or may not rely upon you; their choice, their definition, and outcome to deal with. I would not feel unsafe relying upon you; I would not try to engage in a conversation with you if I did, would not be willing to reveal my thoughts and feelings to you if I did. Your desire for vulnerability is not in question, nor are your reasons for hiding your light under a bushel basket Yes, that you are hidden in such a way indicates, to me, that you feel vulnerable BUT, in my world, the sky is not falling anymore.
